Back to the Future: Breathing New Life into Old Fabs

Back to the Future: Breathing New Life into Old Fabs

Although 300 mm fabs—and contentious talk about 450 mm wafers—capture the headlines, many semiconductor manufacturers are profiting by upgrading or “repurposing” their existing fabs for new products and technologies.

Fab repurposing is going on across the globe and spurring additional business and growth opportunities for SEMI members up and down the semiconductor supply chain.

The SEMI Austin Lunch Forum on March 19 will examine this new paradigm and hear from nine companies that are finding new life in old fabs.

Fab Transitions—Old fabs need not fade away. They find new life and new vitality in this paradigm shift.
